This was an absolutely amazing story. The characters are very accurate to their game counter parts; it makes it incredibly easy to believe all of this is canon. You have a real talent for writingso seamless and elaborate, not a word or moment wasted. On a side note, thank you for the beautiful head-canon of Billie/Callista. I also want to just say I really appreciate how you protrayed Wymanin most other stories, they're referred to as male specifically and often turn into the jealous mean ex-loveryour version is a breath of fresh air. I'll definitely be re-reading this story in the future.

I hope you continue to write more stories, and I look forward to reading them!

Thank you for writing such a beautiful story. I know not what it's like to lose something you love dearly, but I am very sorry for your loss. I am certain your adorable companion is looking down upon you and purring with joy, fully aware of how much you are going to grow in the future, and of how much you will accomplish. Again, thank you for this amazing story— you should consider writing your own story! You /definitely/ have the talent

Lovely chapter, Matvey finally got his closure.
Thank you for updating this wonderful story!

I'm going to leave several reviews. But I want to focus on one aspect of your story at a time.
I think there is no doubt that you've put a great deal of thought into the outsiders origins and all that being dead entails. Him realizing his emotions and working through his newfound mortality is an amazing experience in itself, but that the story should follow a very realistic pattern also indicates an extremely mature line of thinking. This story is a true gem. I've found most dishonored stories to have excellent plot lines, and this one is definitely one of the best. I hope you continue your work

Another wonderful chapter. It is heartwarming to see the Outsider so happy with Emily despite all their problems.

This fanfiction is simply beautiful, a joy to read. You did a superb work shaping the Outsider's psychological baggages. Emily is lovely. Thank you for writing this.

YES! THIS CHAPTER MADE ME SO HAPPY OMFG

DANG IT. MY HEART! WHY?! Whyyyyy? Also. How could you leave the chapter like that?! Are you trying to kill me?!

*inhumane excited noises*

*screaming*

Also, I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to update this story! So many stories on FanFiction never get finished. As for me, this is my favorite Emsider story.

I mean, you’d think Emily would understand that living 4,000 years without emotions and then suddenly experiencing so many at once would of course make him uneasy, plus it doesn’t take a genius to realize there’s a lot of trauma in his past that could affect his future relations and how he views the world. Being afraid IS part of being human, it doesn’t make him a coward Emily! He has certainly lost his mojo though. To go from being this powerful being to someone who can’t even stand upright most of the time. Whew. Is Corvo and Billy still alive? And also... “You entered my home uninvited and then wouldn’t stop cry.” XD hahaha! I can just imagine his face though.
Do you think you can do a sketch of what the Outsider looks like now after aging?

Awwwww! That’s sad! T_T It’s a great chapter though! Wonder what the whales were trying to show him.

Gotta say, I was kind of disappointed with this chapter. The main conflict that would have kept this chapter going was the tension between Emily and the Outsider that arose from their mutual betrayal(s). This could have led to some great scenes and some great development. Instead of building that tension to a head, though, you chose to wind it down over the course of the chapter. The story is still interesting, but this chapter (and the beginning of the next) kind of fall flat.

Well, my friend, regardless of your fluency in the English language, on a broader scope, everything is... well, fantastic. The characters behave really well, and the writing just flows perfectly in those high-tension scenes you have been sprinkling throughout this piece. I would recommend finding a beta reader or editor who 1) can reliably help with minor things like wording and 2) is VERY familiar with comma rules (check out "21 comma rules" on google if you're interested – it's some helpful stuff). Otherwise, bravo (/brava), and all the best!
